Absolute Escapes is a small award-winning Scottish company offering inn-to-inn self-guided and guided walking holidays, as well as self-drive and train itineraries. The strength of this company is in their customer service and ability to customize to meet your needs. When we enquired about a Guernsey trip their response was quick, personal and full of details. We also love that they offer different accommodation levels.
Review of Absolute Escapes Website
Their site is refreshingly simple and search filters are basic (destination & duration), but they do list miles which we Americans greatly appreciate! Adding a currency widget would be icing on the cake. Browsing is the best way to search this site, using their sub-categories: Coastal, Historic, Circular, Classic and Island. Pricing depends on what level of accommodations you choose and these details can be found under each trip’s “Itineraries & Prices.”
